Barça Faces an Important Summer to Continue Growing, although some decisions seemed clear, others are starting to surprise even within the club. With Hansi Flick settled on the bench completing his first season, important moves that could shape the squad for the next season are beginning to take shape. One of them involves a footballer who, despite having the full support of the coach, could be living his last months as a culer.
The sports management, led by Deco, works with a clear objective: generate income through strategic sales without excessively weakening the squad. With the pressure of Financial Fair Play and the need to balance the books, some players with market value could leave. On that list is a central defender who has been important in the culer rotation, but whose departure is not ruled out, especially if a good offer comes in.
Tottenham After a Barça Defender
He is a defender trained at La Masia, with international experience, who returned to the club after a stint in the Premier League and has shown more than solid performance. He has a contract until 2026, but his profile has attracted the interest of several European clubs. One of them, Tottenham Hotspur, has already made a move and intends to take him this very summer.
Hansi Flick believes he has room for growth and fits into his play style due to his ball-playing ability, tactical reading, defensive commitment, and the possibility of covering different positions. However, Deco doesn't see him as non-transferable. Barça has priced his departure at 20 million euros, but from London, they are only willing, for now, to offer 12 million.
The protagonist of this possible transfer is Eric García. The Catalan central defender, who this season returned to wear the blaugrana after his loan at Girona, could head to the Premier if the positions come closer. Although Flick has requested his continuity, the club prioritizes the sale if a convincing offer arrives. The negotiation remains open, and in the offices of Spotify Camp Nou, a decision is already being prepared that could mark a turning point in Barça's defense.
